Visual Studio Build Error “csc.exe” exited with co

Question

Getting a csc.exe error with the .NET samples from the site. Running in a Windows 10 x64 environment; projects came in as Win 8 and were required to be retargeted to 8.1. Now the projects don't build. Turned on diagnostics logging to get the detail. Is there a way to get the full command line that is being invoked on build?

Description "csc.exe" exited with code -532462766. Project File C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\Microsoft.CSharp.CurrentVersion.targets Line 246

Answer 1

Go to tools -> options -> projects and solutions -> build and run

and change both MSBuild project build output verbosity and MSBuild project build log file verbosity verbosity levels to Normal, build your project again and watch the output window, if nothing new shows up change verbosity level to a higher one.
